Existing Wording: Figure 5: Genetic Findings

Comment:

?Figure 5: Genetic Findings? nicely presents the relations between the genotype, haplotype and variation concepts.

The second ?line? of the diagram presents the fact that structured data can be derived from more ?descriptive?, possibly free text data. However, isn?t that a basic principle of standardization, that is, the structuring of data from unstructured formats? What is unique in genetics with regard to structuring data in general?

As for cytogenetics, it?s separated from descriptive and computable findings, but in fact such data sets are probably subject to the same process of structuring, going from more descriptive to more computable ? so why separate out at this connceptual level of modeling?

Summary:

from descriptive to computable
